Luther's Sermon on Infant Baptism
This sermon is taken, in full, from Luther's Collection of Sermons on the Church, or Church Postil, the sermon for the third Sunday following Epiphany. The text for his message is Matthew 8:l. The sermon may be found in <I>Martin Luther, Ausgewahlte Werke, Dritte Auflage</I> (3rd printing), which is put out by the Chr. Kaiser Verlag Munchen, 1957; <I>Vierter Band</I> (4th Volume). The message was translated into English and published by Baker Books. The sermon is in the public domain.

Martin Luther (1483-1546)
Martin Luther, noted for beginning the religious Reformation which is the foundation for most of Protestantism today, was a complex man. He could be gentle and refined, he could be rough and coarse. He could write theology; he could write children’s songs. He could expound his views with vehemence; he could minister compassion or joy. Perhaps his one major fault was his view of the Jews. When his attempts at converting a number of Jews to Christianity failed, he made a list of steps that should be taken against them--steps that were followed hundreds of years later by a German despot named Hitler. But the life of the child, Martin Luther, gives no apparent predisposition of the life of the man.
